Engadget HD Podcast 327 – 12.04.2012

Posted on 04/12/2012 by Trent Wolbe

Welcome to the Engadget 4K Podcast. We're not changing our name yet but if trends continue we may have to slip an "Ultra" in there somewhere as super high-res news flowed forth last week from Sony, Red and Sharp. We've also got some interesting news from Ceton and a preview of Ben's experience with the Echo, as we say a (not-so) melancholy goodbye to rear-projection TVs. With CES closing in it's also time for leaks, and we've seen two different Google TV devices, plus info about the upcoming Redbox Instant streaming service. There's much more within, so go ahead and press play.
